I'm still grrrrrrring at this.

If I'd got into some trouble through no fault of my own last night and, in the heat of the moment, sokuto'd someone in the side of the knee and broken his leg in front of one witness and denied doing it I'd get busted big time wouldn't I?

So why the chuff should Roy Keane get away with PLANNING for months to break a fellow prefessional's leg and cynically doing so in front of tens of thousands (and, through the medium of TV, millions) of witnesses and BRAGGING about it afterwards in his book?

Has there been any kind of official statement as to why there's been no prosecution?

 

big fat 7 figure cheques?

 

You (presumably) don't have the money to hire the best QC in the country.

Mr. Keane does. His argument, I suspect, would be along the lines of: "I never pre-meditated the action. I put it in my book as such salacious - although fictitious - details were always likely to make it fly off the shelves."

Doesn't make it right, though.

 

RE: sokuto'd ..oooooooohh

is that some new tennis rule then ?.

love-love you baby.

only just heard about the Keane GBH then, too busy playing on your pC ?

 

I don't hold with that.

It's a falacy that money can get you out of anything. He's bang to rights, no defence, the police could bring the charge and be assured of a successful prosecution regardless of what he spends. Ask Jeffrey Archer.

 

Is that the best you can do cupcake?

I see you never got your irony filter fixed.

 

For once I wholeheartedly agree with you!

He's a sulky loser & I hope he ends up on the scrap heap!

 

well

i agree with premeditation. however, the knee that ko'd haaland's career was not the knee that keane kicked

was overlooked/ignored by the press after the furore of his book

RE: I don't hold with that.

I think it's more a case that the prosecution service are loathe to get involved with something that's happened on the professional sporting field. It may set a precedent, not saying that's right - just that I think that's what's going on.

Certainly nowt to do with Keane having the money for a good lawyer - that would be the case had it been taken for prosecution and he had got off.
